#community

More important than ever to be the enthusiastic amateur rather than the disgruntled, grumpy, overworked teacher. We can do this. Don’t let your big district and boss lay the growth mindset trip on you; seize the day and each moment as #theonlymoment! Teachers have all they need to be #changeagents, but it first begins with our own vision. Is it clouded by the end of the year? Reset. Reset. Reset. via Jaded

I cannot help but wonder as I teach a biology unit in science at life’s miraculous presence from the microscopic level to our vast universe. I think it is time to infuse Common Core (and its critics) with movement. Let us move from thinking to feeling. It starts with educators! Teach empathy and model kindness. Let us move from reacting to reflecting (the real critical thinking) via Subtle Effortless Action. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. Kindness matters more now than ever. #guncontrol #safeschools
